My bearing on my yoyo is making this very loud sound and it doesn’t spin smoothly. I don’t really know how to clean it, so help please. Or should I get a new one?

Cleaning a bearing isn’t terribly difficult, but you do need the right materials. For the cost of a bearing, you can most likely equip yourself to clean a couple of hundred bearings, should you so desire! Take the time to watch some videos, learn these new skills. We should all know how to do this.
